Undetstanding well your data is a key part of your analysis. It takes time. There are already too many papers out with poorly understood data that was run through a statistical model just to get a significant result. Adding llms to mix is just adding fuel to the fire.

I’m sure this guy is great, not the point, but to think the solution to Canadian scoence is to attract a few dozen scientists from abroad is complete nonsense. There are just as good scientists here.

If this ceasefire happens - and I hope it does - Western media will talk about 'peace'. This will be inaccurate. What they will mean is 'quiet', a reversion to the background level of violence that Palestinians have faced for decades. Peace can only come with the end of the occupation and apartheid.

As a member of the Radical Open Access Collective, Cadernos de Linguística embraces collective, care-driven publishing that resists extractive models and fosters intellectual autonomy. Open access is not just free access — it's about rethinking how knowledge is created, shared, and sustained.
Graphic card from Cadernos de Linguística featuring the Radical Open Access Collective. The image includes a large orange “A” symbol, partially enclosed in a dark gray circle, representing open access. The text reads: “RADICAL OPEN ACCESS COLLECTIVE. A global network of scholar-led, not-for-profit publishing projects. It promotes open access through care, experimentation, and critique — beyond commercial models and extractive publishing practices.” The design is minimalist, with a light beige background and dark gray text.
